1 make time tracking easier

2 measure interruptions

3 calculate velocity for estimated tasks

Application Development for Mobile and Ubiquitous Computing

Use Cases

Use Cases

1 User goes to work but does not use its own PC (e.g. pairprogramming): use TimeTracker to prove that work time has beenused meaningfully

2 User has a coffee break but leaves its PC on: TimeTracker detectmovement and ask user which activity it is engaged in, stopping ifnot work related

3 User ignores TimeTracker notification: stop tracking time after atimeout

Challenges

Offline Store time measurements locally when Jira server is not reachable

Offline Temporarily store time measurements on Pebble when smartphoneapp is not reachable

Usability Fully exploit the limited interaction capabilities of Pebble (only 3physical buttons)

Usability Correctly display Jira tasks on the smarthphone when user isinvolved in many projects

Usability Automatically detect when user is moving from workplace and reactaccordingly (i.e. stop tracking if activity is not work related)
